  2. There seems to be something similar to the Cheshire Cat in this showdown. I've seen MIG pop up randomly a few times, each time with an hour to complete it. The first time 380 was the score to beat, but the second time it was only 300 if I recall correctly. I got it a third time also, in which I believe it was also 300, but I was occupied at the time and wasn't able to finish before time ran out. Anyway, I got a custom frame for it, and an added "notch" for beating it a second time. Has anyone else seen this? I know MIG is one of the regular levels, but this MIG is different...pops up randomly for short periods of time, Cheshire Cat-style.

  3. I haven't seen the secret fighter yet. Winning the radar dice would be cool! I'll be sure to be on the look out.

  4. I saw the special MIG today for the first time. I was able to beat it and win a Top Gun frame. I believe I saw an ad that said if you beat the special MIG 5 times you also win new dice. Platinum dice maybe. I can't remember exactly.

  5. I have also seen the MIG pop up like the Cheshire Cat did. Thanks for the info on what you can win.

  6. To get radar dice, a player has to reach gold level in dice duels. I did it and got them.

    2. Honestly, I can't remember as I am at 107 wins master level. Gold wasn't too bad, I believe it was 20 or 25 wins, but am not certain.

    3. Just checked standings, and gold level, along with radar dice, unlock after 20 dice duel wins.

  7. Yep, for sure it's a minimum of 20 wins in the top gun showdown tourney. That wins the radar dice. I got to gold level 1 at exactly 20 wins just for the dice

  8. Can anyone explain the point of diamonds? I feel like I have a ton of them but I can't find a place to use them or turn them into anything actually useful in this game (bonus rolls or XP, I don't really care what my dice or frame look like). I feel like diamonds keep accumulating and it's impossible to use them? And now Dice Duels are a bonus roll buy-in which I'm not spending my bonus rolls on so that kind of sucks, I haven't done Dice Duels in a while.

      How much is a ton of diamonds? I guess if you don't like the custom dice then diamonds aren't worth anything. I know that you can buy the custom dice with diamonds but other than that, they are worthless for people that don't like the custom dice and are happy with the classic dice.

  9. I defeated the MIG 5 times and got some special "platinum" dice. They are very shiny but look a lot like the silver dice. A bit disapointing. Plus when you "hold" a die the frame around it is black, which matches the black background quite closely, so they're a bit hard to use.

  10. I defeated the tower and was not rewarded the 'fighter ace' dice but instead got 'maverick' dice.... This happen to anyone else?? The maverick dice are terrible & the fighter ace dice are what I wanted???

  11. I recommend always taking a screenshot when you defeat the final dice master. Scopely support will ask for proof that you beat him and it makes it easier to get the dice if there was an error in awarding the custom dice
